Joplin command line install script fails on lubuntu

I ran the install script on an lubuntu system (18.10) and the script fails to install Joplin.

This is because the variable $XDG_DATA_DIRS doesn't match the regex checks in the script

$XDG_DATA_DIRS == /usr/share/Lubuntu:/usr/local/share:/usr/share:/var/lib/snapd/desktop

Also $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is: LXQt

if [ "$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP" = "" ]
    then
      desktop=$(echo "$XDG_DATA_DIRS" | sed 's/.*\(xfce\|kde\|gnome\).*/\1/')
    else
      desktop=$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
fi

 if [[ $desktop =~ .*gnome.*|.*kde.*|.*xfce.*|.*mate.* ]]

The end result is a message saying:

Create Desktop icon.
NOT DONE

At the very least, maybe a better error message could be shown if Joplin won't run in this enviorment.

Maybe that desktop lxqt desktop should just be added to the regex list?

Yup, just updating the regex seem to do the trick:

[[ $desktop =~ .*gnome.*|.*kde.*|.*xfce.*|.*mate.*|.*lxqt.* ]]
